Remember seeing the proto of this at the past SDCC09 (
posted HERE) well now this amazing figure from
Jesse Hernandez and being produced by BIC Plastics has got some color splashed on it! This is the "OG" colorway and is going to be limited to around 400pcs world-wide! No word on the release date or the cost, but from the above picture... time is drawing near! This piece is seriously sick and HUGE, I am so looking forward to seeing the final version in person!

Glenn Barr is one of the few artists around whose "juvenilia" excites as much interest (and cash) as his most current works. If you were a regular customer at some of the better independent record, book, and magazine stores that thrived around here back in the day ... well, you know what we're talking about.
But those days are definitely back in the past. Barr is acknowledged now as one of the most accomplished painters to arise phoenix-like from Detroit's underground milieu. He's been profiled and praised in Juxtapoz and Hi Fructose; found a welcome niche in the demanding field of graphic novels; and contributed a skillful hand to animated features and videos. Bjork and Woody Woodpecker on the same resume? Not bad!
And now he'll be the focus of his first Detroit solo show in seven years. Right here where it all started. On October 28, at 6pm,
323East will give up its walls to
Glenn Barr and showcase a near decade's worth of original works and prints. You'll be able to see and judge for yourself how a Detroit original has taken a unique vision of the world and made it even more colorful and dynamic.
New works and prints from the past for sale and on display @ 323East from October 28th - November 27th.

A HUGE thanks goes out to David from
Vannen Art Watches who was kind enough to send out one of their new Halloween exclusive from
Vannen and designed by
Dirty Donny which is a super limited edition of only
150 pieces worldwide! The best part about this release, and because the art created for this watch was so dope, Vannen decided to throw in a little treat and make another super-limited variant known as the
"Toxic Chase" color way, which is a yellow version (
pics below) of the one in the review.
The Toxic Chase is so extremely limited
that only 50 exist in the entire world. So that means these were "blind-bagged" so once purchased you have no clue what you are getting, and these were in a really cool orange Trick-or-Treat bag filled with Halloween goodies. These watches are really cool, and if you are a fan of any of the artists on the
Vannen site, or heck if you are a fan of art in general these are a must!

Just when you thought the creations from
Plaseebo couldn't get any creepier... the boys from Plaseebo went and got invited to create some CREEPY CUSTOMS for the "Halloween Massacre" Show, curated by Ricky Wilson of
VELOCITRON, opening October 30th at the Monstock Gallery in Tokyo.
Bob says that "
This first piece was found on October 31st 1986, inside a rusty metal box that was buried under the floor boards of a woodshed behind a house in Springwater Arizona that was owned in the 1950's by Lt Col Hatfield, US Army Air force, who was stationed in Area 51 at the time of the incident." This piece is glow in the dark green vinyl with a paint wash, yellow cat eye inserts, two spiders and lots of icky black flies nicely stuffed in a glass canning jar. Bon apetit !
CREEPY CUSTOM #2 "Ghost Girl" One of a kind / signedThis rad custom was inspired by a Japanese tale of a thousand ghosts, and was created using a vinyl head with rooted hair on a hand cast resin Octobase with a color-changing LED unit... WOW talk about creepy!
